Granted
The Board granted eligibility to attorney fees based on past-due benefits awarded in an August 2, 2023, RO decision.
The deciding factor: The appellant's fee agreement was valid and the claim for increased rating for unspecified depressive disorder kept the case in continuous pursuit after the initial denial, triggering eligibility for attorney fees.
